Well, at the risk of provoking some screaming and yelling, let me
observe that there is a better antibiotic for rosacia, called
metronidazole. It can be taken orally, or applied topically as a gel
(Metrogel). When taken orally for long periods it can cause
(reversible) neuropathy. It also has an antabuse like effect on some
people, so you cannot drink while taking it orally. It’s cheap,
especially by mail order, or in Mexico.

In the absence of alternatives, I have been taking Tetracycline to
control Rosascia (I don’t know if I’ve spelled it correctly … this
is a condition where I have very red cheeks and something like acne
constantly, presumably connected to feeling flushed, possibly from coffee,
spice, alcohol, etc.). Tetracycline has been the only thing thus far
to control the condition (at least the acne).
Besides continuing to clean up my diet, can anyone suggest an
alternative to Tetracycline? Any other suggestions?

Well I have been told a few remedies, my dad who is in his 60′s
cannot eat strawberries without stiring up the acne on his nose(maybe an
allergic reaction?) the Wilen sisters have a few home remedy books out"
Chicken soup &Other Folk Remedies" "Live and Be Well , new age and age-old
folk remedies" , these books have quite a few tested suggestions.

According to Adelle Davis, acne rosacea is similar to blood shot eyes.
Vitamin b2 is responsible for carrying oxygen to the eyes. When b2 is
undersupplied, the eyes form blood vessels to supply the oxygen to them,
giving the blood-shot appearance. This also can happen with the
skin–which causes rosacea. It also could be from bacterial infection.
Alcohol can produce it also.

B2 deficiency does cause vision problems, but this is nonsense.

The cause of the inflamed vessels causing rosacea is unknown. Alcohol
and spicy foods can sometimes aggravate it. It’s probably not caused
by bacterial infection although it is treatable by
antibiotics. Usually the drug is tapered off and any persistent
vessels can be taken care of with lasers. It usually doesn’t recur.

Steve,
Thanx for the suggestion.
I have been applying Metrogel topically, but as far as I can tell,
it has little if any effect.
What is neuropathy?

The cause is Heat, and it is treatable with Cool herbals. You don’t have to

No Paul, the cause is not ‘Heat’. ‘Heat’ does not exist, any more than
your Liver Channels or your Triple Warmers. Things that don’t exist
are limited in their effects to psychosomatic disorders.

Using the words ‘Heat’ and ‘Cool’ for every disorder under the sign is
your way of saying that you haven’t the foggiest notion of how the
physical universe really works.

Thanx … you’ve given me a few things to pursue.
A few questions. Who is Adelle Davis, and is there some book or work
or hers that would be relevant?
If the problem is an undersupply of Vitamin B2, is it a simple matter
of trying an increasing amount of B2 and observing? What sort of
practitioner could best guide me through this, or is that necessary?
If bacterial infection, can you suggest alternatives?

I’ve done well on topical Metrogel, at least it seems to have reduced
the need for Tetracycline.
I have a question for Dr. Harris. Why isn’t Accutane used for
Rosacea? Is the dermopathology different in Rosacea vs regular acne?
Along the same lines why isn’t Retin A a useful drug?

She’s a long-dead vitamin pusher who churned out popular books in the 60′s.

Which sign is that, sbd? The Triple Warmer and the Liver Channel both exist just
fine. It is your inability to cluster phenomena in any manner other than that
provided by materialist physiology that is the problem. Is a Picasso a variety
of squiggles on paper, a half an ounce of pencil shavings and cellulose? No, it
is an artwork that exists as it is, without regard to whether a computer
sampling the paper can find a Picasso-ness in a square inch of that paper. You
ignore, deride, and discount a great variety of the phenomena of the existence
of the body, and yet you have no comprehensive view of that phenomena–which
doesn’t seem to trouble you.
What is a syndrome but a cluster of hitherto unrelated complaints in which a
pattern was eventually seen? The physical existence of a Triple Warmer (which is
a lousy translation for the ‘Three Transformative Spaces’) is not the point, and
really never has been the point. Acupuncture has never been based on
physicality.
We are wired up with correlations that don’t appear physically. You can assign
symbols to these hologramic aspects, and actually act on those symbols–and, lo
and behold, they act just like things.
‘Heat’ is one of those symbols, and not a particularly hard one to observe. And,
surprise, it can be removed, Cleared away. And, surprise, when you remove it,
the persons ACTUAL physical complaint goes away. Instead, M.D.’s always say:
you’re not sick, come back when you’re sick. Very unsatisfying, very myopic.
Take cancer. Before the cancer, there was cancer. You just couldn’t see it, test
it, validate it, but you know in retrospect it was there. Technology doesn’t
exist to ‘predict it,’ in the absence of a biopsy. But it was there, a seed. It
started somewhere. We can call that seed by a name, like ‘Heat,’ and look for
any signs that seemed to precede the arrival of the physical, palpable, testable
cancer, and attempt to Clear them away before the cancer arises fully. Not only
would that be sane, that would be wise. Not only that–that is already wise, and
has been for two thousand years.

ROFL. I’ll bet it has. The number of people who’ve been told they have
the seed of cancer but that it can be taken away by appropriate Chinese
spells before it actually manifests, is probably staggering. Great way
to make a living.

Oh really? Then please explain why the liver channel and the triple
warmer have never been found during an autopsy?

Not at all Paul. It is your totally inappropriate application of tools
to phenomena that they are designed to explore which is the
problem. Science is a great way to understand the physical world. Art
and religion are ways to approach man’s spiritual essence and deal
with some of the great questions of life which have no objective
answer. Certainly the practice of medicine should involve an
appreciation for the human spirit, but that doesn’t mean medicine has
to explain it to be valid. I would *love* to hear the ETH explanation
for Picasso.

I’m not troubled by sciences inability to explain why or why not
Picasso’s work moves us because that is not the role of
science. Specifically, that is not the role of medical science. The
role of medical science is to cure people like Picasso of cancer so
that they can continue to explore the other side of humanity and to
cure people like me of cancer (should I ever get it) so I can enjoy
Picasso.
Incidentally, some of the finest medical people have a wonderful
appreciation for art, many of them practice it extremely well. I know
several doctors who play string quartets in their spare time and would
make many a professional musician squint in envy. Unlike you, they
have an understanding of what to use to plumb the depths of the soul
and don’t try to bend science to purposes for which it was never
intended. They also don’t bring their violins to the surgical
ward. When everything looks like a nail, just apply ETH, eh Paul?

Ah, a point of agreement. You’re right – acupuncture and TCM and ETH
are not based on anything that actually exists in the physical
universe. Fine. We are in agreement. This is why it bears a similarity
to religion, which is also based on stuff that doesn’t exist in the
physical universe. So if you want to practice your religion, fine. If
you want to claim that it can effect the physical universe by curing
cancer then this part of it can and should be validated
scientifically.

Not quite true, Paul. There are definite genetic markers for certain
types of disease, and certain types of cancer are among them. This
sounds like an interesting project for someone – I’d love to see
someone with Li-Fraumeni syndrome be diagnosed with the `seed for
cancer’ by one of your TCM quacks – I’m certain you couldn’t do
it. And if you could, just what specific ‘healin’ do you recommend for
that particular mutation of the p53 gene, eh Paul? Ice cream, to
reduce the Heat?

Wise? There are more things in heaven and earth than are conceived of
by your pathetic Chinese philosophy, oh magical healer. What is the
TCM cure for inherited disease, Paul? Presumably there is no
inherited disease in China, no Li-Fraumeni syndromes because the
parents were ‘healed’. Exactly how do you guys `heal’
autosomal-dominant disorders? Do you do it differently from
autosomal-recessive disorders? Modern science breathlessly awaits
your wisdom.

This is from "Let’s Get Well" by Adelle Davis: "Adelle Davis, one of the
country’s best known nutritionists, studied at Purdue University,
graduated from the University of California at Berkeley, and took
postgraduate studies at Columbia University and the University of
California at Los Angeles before receiving her Master of Science degree
in biochemistry from the University of Southern California Medical School.
Throughout her career she has worked with physicians, beginning in New
York with dietetics training at Bellevue and Fordham hospitals and her
first position at the Judson Health Clinic.
Later, in Oakland, California, and then in Los Angeles, she was
employed as a consulting nutritionist with physicians at the Alameda
County Health Clinic and the William E. Branch Clinic in Hollywood, as
well as seeing patients referred to her by numerous specialists. After
planning individual diets for more than 20,000 people suffering from
almost every known disease, she gave up consulting to devote her time to
her family, writing, and lecturing.
Adelle Davis, who in private life is Mrs. Frank Seiglinger, is
the mother of two children and lives near Los Angeles. She is the author
of four bestselling books, "Let’s Cook it Right", "Let’s Have Healthy
Children", "Let’s Get Well", and "Let’s Eat Right to Keep Fit."
*****************************************************
Adelle Davis died maybe 20 years ago. She was the sister of Ann B. Davis
from the "Brady Bunch" tv show and the Bob Cummings show. Adelle also
wrote a book about her LSD experiences. Peter Stafford wrote: "’Jane
Dunlap’ (nutritionist Adelle Davis) is a similar affirmation of a journey
to the dark side of the moon and back. Intrigued by Wasson’s account in
"Life", Ms. Dunlap volunteered as an experimental subject when a
long time doctor friend began studying LSD-25. "
Adelle Davis probably was more responsible for the creation of the health
food movement than any other person, and she was extremely hounded and
persecuted.

Yes. 100 to 200 mgs daily seems to be the right amount and it needs to be

deficiency. Vitamin e oil put on the area could also be of help and has a
similar function, (preserving oxygen).

Mega doses of vitamin c, (also an anti-oxidant) is good against bacterial
infections and also helps to strengthen the blood vessels. Bioflavinoids
are good for that purpose combined with vitamin c.

Comment: on the diagnositic side, it is interesting that we now have
something (the anti-malignan antibody serum test, or AMAS test) which is
nearly what Paul is promising. Only it appears to be for real. Now if
we could just locate and kill the little tumors as well…

The dermatopathology IS different in rosacea, but as yet nobody knows
why the metronidazole works better. Maybe an anaerobic bacterium is
involved (although metronidazole is useful in all kinds of other strange
skin conditions where microbial involve seems unlikely). And I don’t
know why accutate isn’t used in rosacea.
